this is due probably because the template engine tries to convert a string into an unicode, but it doesn't know the charset of your data, so it's trying to use the default encoding as set in /usr/lib/python2.7/site.py during interpreter bootstrap. If you are using a good database you can trust your data and and let the database connector (the encoding should be settable somewhere in the connector or Z SQL method conf, i don't remember since i don't use them anymore) convert the strings to unicodes for you.
If you have something like MySQL you can't always trust that the data in the db is in the expected encoding because some of its table engine simply don't do any check on the input. If this is your case, it will be more problematic.
In my experience, setting a default encoding in the config file didn't always fix the problem.
As a last resort you can tweak the site.py, but really if there issues with data's encoding this doesn't mean you solved the problem. Likely the user will see wrong charachters where non-ascii ones are supposed to be.
Thanks Alberto!!! :D Changing the enconding in the site.py file made the trick. To some zope developer in the list, why is not taking the enconding from the zope.conf file? Do I must open a ticket? -- ________________________________________ Lo bueno de vivir un dia mas es saber que nos queda un dia menos de vida
